Honey Farms & Apiaries near Buffalo, MN

Howard Lake

Peterson Farms Honey is a fourth-generation migratory beekeeping operation with its honey house in Howard Lake. The family moves its hives between Minnesota's summer fields and Texas over winter, selling bulk raw honey to other beekeepers and four-frame nucs for pickup in spring. Health issues have paused new nuc orders for spring 2026, with plans to reopen for spring 2027.

The Honey Hut in Maple Grove sells pure local raw Minnesota honey, creamed honey, and Grade A Minnesota maple syrup, with fulfillment by shipping, farm pickup, or farmers market booth pickup.

Saint Cloud

Listed here as White Honey Tree Farm, this veteran- and family-run Saint Cloud operation goes by White Honey Bee Farm. It produces raw local honey and beeswax products alongside apples, vegetables, eggs, chickens, goats, and hogs. Its honey turns up at the Princeton, Sartell, Otsego, and Sauk Rapids farmers markets. The farm leans on natural food and low resource use across its diverse mix of crops and animals.

Golden Valley

Raw honey pulled from the operation's own hives, sold seven days a week from a small farm market on the Golden Valley and St. Louis Park line. This is urban honey, from hives kept in the western Minneapolis suburbs. The beekeeper takes calls between 8am and 10pm and keeps retail jars on hand. Reach out at 952-486-0856 or [email protected].

Bee Twine Honey Farm sits a mile south of the world's largest ball of twine in Darwin, the landmark that gives the farm its name. Sue and Matt Cron run the veteran-owned operation, selling raw Minnesota honey pulled from their own hives. It's a small, family outfit with no storefront or distributor, so the easiest way to find their jars is through their Facebook and Instagram, where they post pickup details and market dates.
